Ado has transformed this team. Much more athletic, faster.

So far, he plays hard af and it seems to have rubbed off on everybody else.

Lamar looks improved so far this season as well.

Even though his shot hasn’t gone down, the ball doesn’t stick to him and he makes plays (which you can say about the whole team).

Gonna try not to overreact, as these first 3 games opponents are less than stellar, the eye test says this team is very much improved.

Dang do we practice shooting? I haven't shot a basketball in 6 months and I would hit more 3's than we have. Most have been good looks.

Ado exceeds expectations so far. He's a difference maker. Our offense looks like some **** Stansbury drew up. We don't work it inside enough

We are terrible from 3. I wouldn’t care if Howland told the team not to shoot them in the 2nd half.


Easy to feel that way dude. I'm not happy with the 3 shooting either.

However, it's early in the season and these guys do not look like they are very comfortable from outside for some reason.

Things I DO like that I am seeing, even though it is early:

1. Ado - Wish we had two of him.
2. Lamar and Nick - ball handling and quickness
3. Defense - if we are starting here with our defense we will be competitive, much more effort and control guarding the floor.
4. Depth - we look to be 8-9 deep right now

Like I said before, it's really early and we have not been very consistent tonight, but we look much, much better in key areas than the last two years.

Lamar, Nick, and Carter can all drive from the perimeter, which is nice to have.

We be playing some defense too.

Well, we probably shouldn't be favored by 19 over anybody the way this team shoots 3's and defends the 3. I see the reason why Howland wanted a perceived easy schedule. It ain't easy for our guys. Maybe for Duke and U.K. But not for MS.

I've never seen a worse three point shooting display. But when we work it inside, we look good. Should do it more.

Tyson carter has shied away from some.

The 3s they’re taking are freaking good looks, and it’s good shooters taking them. I dunno what’s going on.

"One of those nights"

Cliched, but when I've seen more than a couple go in and roll around and out, it's the best explanation.

Still some young on this team and they need to learn some mental toughness an confidence to combat this kind of thing.

Weird seeing some post play and rebounding after having NONE the past few seasons.

Wright was good last year when he played, thought he shoulda got more minutes. Great hustle player.

We’re gonna have to trim down on some players...I don’t think feazell has a place right now.

Can’t rotate 10 players and expect a good rythym.

We will rotate a lot early to figure out our starters and best pairings.

Not bad to score 77 and not make **** from 3.

I'm not predicting anything huge but this team has the parts this year to make some noise and get me interested in the guys side of BB again.

Peters and Nick are damned fun to watch.

Nick looks like Russell Westbrook to me, maybe not quite as athletic...but he’s got a ton of athleticism.

SFA beat 3 seed West Virginia like a drum and then lost a heartbreaker to 6 seed Notre Dame last March.

Not sure what they return.

Who are these 4 dickheads that keep downvoting your posts? What am I missing here? Do they have fat sausage fingers and hit the wrong button or what? Just curious

How about the dribble between GB players legs by Peters, Sportscenter material.
This team has potential if we can shoot better from outside.
Gonna live and die by 3 again.

Negative. We proved tonight that we can grind out a win without the 3. The defensive effort was great. Green Bay is a decent little team too. They’re not world beaters but they were fundamentally sound. Last years team folds like lawn chair with a shooting performance like that.
When you can win and score nearly 80 while shooting 10% on threes you’re not living and dying by the 3.

It was awesome, but one almost wishes it had failed

So Howland could chew his A for being lazy and getting caught backcourt late in a game still in doubt. Was pretty though.
